In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the NBA plans to dramatically curb access to players in locker rooms, league sources told ESPN.
The league notified teams on Monday that they’ll need to eliminate what the NBA considers to be non-essential team personnel — including media members — from locker rooms, sources said.
The NBA considers coaches, general managers, basketball and public relations staff to be among those who’ll have continued access to players in the locker room, sources said. The NBA is preparing for media access outside of locker room settings that include a directive to keep players and media at a distance of six-to-eight feet, sources said.
MLB is also closing the clubhouses off to media.
